Our playgroup decided that our meta was getting out of control, so we decided to reign it in a bit by everyone getting a challenge to build decks under €30 (Cardmarket.eu prices). I knew I wanted Rakdos colors, but was torn between Judith, the Scourge Diva (which seemed more fun) and Lyzolda, the Blood Witch (which seemed more efficient). In the end I went more with flavor, since I wanted to build this QUEEN from the moment she was spoiled.

It may not have the bestest best cards, but the deck creates a solid sacrifice engine. Includes efficient sacrifice outlets like Yahenni, Undying Partisan , Spawning Pit and Thoughtpicker Witch , sacrifice fodder like Squee, the Immortal , Reassembling Skeleton and Endless Cockroaches , as well as some extra bonuses besides Judith, like my favorites Butcher of Malakir and Vicious Shadows .

Some cool synergies include equipping Judith with a Basilisk Collar (me-ow!) to destroy everything Judith touch-eth, and pinging Silverclad Ferocidons with her triggers.

Alternative win cons include: Revel in Riches and Captive Audience (hilarious at the prerelease), as well as some potential burn finishers like Burn from Within .
